August Unique Baby Name Round Up: A List

Hello readers!

Every month we put together a list of ten baby names that we're loving right now and share them with you. In doing so, we hope to offer up a platter of cool and uncommon baby names.

If you choose one of these names for your baby tweet us and let us know the name you chose!

  1. Bijou (f) This is the name of a precious little girl. 'Bijou' in French means jewellery. This is the name for a person with a sparkling personality. 
  2. Ember (unisex) This is a warm name. It's fiery. It glows.
  3. Byron (m) For any poetry fans out there, Byron is a strong and dramatic name that reeks of poetry and great nature landscapes. 
  4. Leilani (f) This name has a sweet, tropical vibe with plenty of floral fun.
  5. Ciaran (m) This is a Scottish or Gaelic name meaning 'dark one' and could be a great name for the child of someone tall, dark and handsome. 
  6. Callista (f) This is the name for a beautiful child. It's very feminine and quite summery. It can be shortened to Callie.
  7. Demeter (m) This could be a great name for an earthy child who cares for the Earth.
  8. Marianna (f) A combination of the names Mary and Anne, this is a wonderful alternative to more common names. Sure, we've met people called Mary, Anne, Maria Anna and so on. A Marianna is far more rare.
  9. Lance (m) This French name is fit for a knight. This is a child who was born ready to fight. 
  10. Emmeranne (f) This is a truly rare name that combines names like Emily/Emma/Emmy and Anne. You can shorten this so many ways so it's really flexible for a child to grow into.

Mina

Our name of the day is Mina. 

Mina is a name that became very popular as it was the name of the main female character in Dracula. It has, however, stayed out of the mainstream limelight and rarely hits baby name charts. This could be a simply but uncommon name for a girl. Mina is a great name that can easily translate into different countries, different languages, different cultures... What's not to love about this name? It's sweet and simple without being too 'girly' or flowery. It could be short for names like Wilhelmina, Carmina or Amina. 

Variations on the name/similar names: Mona, Marianna, Aminat, Nina, Meena, Mena, Meera, Mira, Minah.
